Good morning my friends.   I hope you are all doing fine and ready for work, school or enjoying your vacation.   I am so happy with the news on the Serie A transfer market.   It is confirmed, Inter,  as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, have signed striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo to please coach Walter Mazzarri who wanted him since he was coaching Napoli.

Now, get this one, Corriere dello Sport also reporting declarations from Manchester United forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez saying that “Yes, I am ready for Inter.”  Mamma mia, so what is President Eric Thohir going to do now?  It’s obvious that Osvaldo is the alternative for strikers Mauro Icardi and Rodrigo Palacio.   It was a better fit,  all three Argentinian strikers continuing the tradition (though Osvaldo naturalized Italian).   This leaves an open question now.. Will Chicharito’s transfer remain only a rumor?  What a tough situation for Chicharito…..   Transfer market news also for AC Milan still hunting for a goalkeeper.  And how they need it!!!!!  … Napoli awaiting for Fellaini on Saturday…  And I am so upset because midfielder Valon Behrami leaves Napoli to join Hamburg. Oh gosh!

Now, my friends, there are 2 headlines sadden me a lot!  Here is the thing, Juventus played a friendly game with newly promoted Serie B to Serie A team Cesena and could not score a goal!!!!! Yep, Italy’s champions with new coach Massimiliano Allegri not sending a strong message to this current season.  The other sad news is about the ongoing AC Milan crisis having 2 big defeats in the United States against Olympiacos and Manchester City.   Challenge for coach Filippo Inzaghi is to prepare the last game against Liverpool at least to win 1 game in the International Champions Cup.

Ok, now, allow me to jump and do a special cheerleading for AS Roma!  Oh yeah! Wohoooooooooooooooo  The Roman gladiators led by the one and only Captain Francesco Totti defeated Real Madrid in the International Champions Cup!!!!!! BAM!

Good morning my friends.  How are you?  I am just happy because AS Roma defeated Real Madrid yesterday in the International Champions Cup, wohoooooOO!!!   I am also super mega happy because the father of Juventus forward Carlos Tevez was freed after being kidnapped for 8 hours in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Headlines reporting the ransom was for 36 thousands Euros.   Tevez will not play in the friendly game today against Cesena.

And here we go again with the on going Tutto Sport saga on Javier Hernandez “Chicharito.”  It is curious that in the past two days only Tutto Sport mention the interest of Inter to sign Chicharito, but neither the front pages from La Gazzetta dello Sport not Corriere dello Sport had mentioned it.  The point is that according to Tutto Sport, Inter need to sell midfielder Fredy Guarrin to buy Hernandez.  However, headlines also indicating that striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo is closer to sign for Inter.

“Germany World Cup Champion. Argentina 2nd place. Messi disappoints. Inzaghi mania. Toro-Quagliarella. Milan and Inter duel for Grenier,” Front Pages La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Monday 14 July 2014

Good morning my friends and I really mean “Good morning.”  It’s just a spectacular morning because World Cup is finally over and we have a champion:  Yep… Germany are the 2014 FIFA World Cup after defeating Argentina with the goal by forward Mario Gotze in the 113th minute.   Germany 1 – 0 Argentina.

Surely, the front pages are all for Germany who waited 24 years to win a World Cup now equaling Italy having won 4 World Cup each.  Great seeing Germany Lazio forward Miroslav Klose becoming the top scorer in World Cup history with 16 goals.

I am just happy reading the front pages and watching the news.  It’s now time to archive the World Cup and focus again in the Serie A.  Outstanding job by all Serie A players participating in the World Cup with their respective national teams.

On Italian Serie A market, headlines now almost a done deal with forward Fabio Quagliarella most likely transferring from Juventus to Torino. Yep. Reportedly, Juventus not even calling up Quagliarella and he is indeed meeting with Torino president Urbano Cairo.   A heated market is that of the Frenchman Grenier because AC Milan and Inter are dueling to sign Grenier!

Having say that…. it’s also Inzaghi Mania!!! AC Milan fans are just wild embracing the ex player as the new coach and feeling optimistic for a Milan revival…..  well, allow me now to prepare my coffee… have a good Monday morning and thanks for visiting my blog, you can share your comments too.
